every day's a new dumb adventure

Here goes the neighborhood
This evening Randall and I headed over to Criolla Kitchen. It's a new restaurant in the hood (where Baghdad cafe was) and just opened this weekend. The menu is a creole inspired southern-style deal with BBQ and chicken and waffles and red beans and rice. For starters, we downed an order of yam tater tots (delicious especially with sauces) and then we moved on shrimp grits and chicken and waffles. The food was tasty but not amazing. The grits had a nice texture and were loaded with shrimp, definitely a nice home flavor. The chicken and waffles were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, cooked perfectly but the flavor was just unmemorable. It was a solid dinner, but not spectacular. Service was nice though and I like having the option in the area, especially once they start serving brunch and stay open 24 hours. When they do start brunch I hope they do those grits with an delicious soft yolk egg right on top. That would be a pretty tasty meal and probably one worth writing home about. So here's hoping!
